Title: Text mode program object in mode co80,50
Post by: karotlopj on May 10, 2016, 11:24:10 am
If I create a text mode program object, can I make it start in mode co80,50?

Or set various environment variables before starting it up?

I have a program object with:
Path and file name = *
Parameters = /k mode co80,70 & cls & %

Or set various environment variables before starting it up?
Use the method above or use one of these WPS enhancements by Rich Walsh:

1) DragText's DTProgram class adds an environment page to a WPS program object settings notebook.

2) Run! allows to load an .env file for environment strings beneath the (renamed) Run!.exe file. I haven't figured out how to get this to work, but it may be caused by the DragText WPS enhancement.
